Railroaa Officials and Their Holdings.


Chicago Herald.
It was always related OF Albert Keep, when
president of the Northwestern railroad, that he
held only one hundred shares of the common
stock-just enough to decently entitle him to
place in the directory. Keep had leaning
toward bonds. He couldn't stand the risk of
common stock, not even in his own road. 1t
has recently been one of the peculiarities of the
Northwestern railroad that it land

interested in it's common stock, yet the common
stock has ranked higher for character than al
most any other The Vanderbilts. who have
really six representatives in the dIrec-
tory, most largely interested in the
preferred. The Wisconsin Central is managed
by men who own the bonds Its common stock
has never been worth much and probably never
will be until Colby dies and the Boston bond

Paul. until very recently. has also been

roads has a great advantage over the fellow who
goes it blind. If the directory of road are very
careful TO avoid the common certificates and to
keep themselves in the bonds and preferred

good many years ago and have always treated
the common fairly.

AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS.


Ives Must Produce Those Missing Books.
NEW YORK. Aug. 22-Lawyer Algernon 5.

bers of the firm of Ives a. Co. to testify to dis
covering certain books of the firm now missing
and which the assignee needs IN making up his
Itatement of the assets and liabilities of the
irm He said that he understood that Exon
FRESHMAN j. J. Adams and Edward Lauterbach
lppeared as counsel for Ives. Mr.. Lauter bach
lisclaimed being counsel for Ives.
aying that only Mr.. Adams appeared
lie said that it appeared as though the
lrm of Ives & Co. expected to look in their
rouble to either Sullivan g. Cromwell,
aoadly. Lauteroach & johnson, and as Mr..
Cromwell had been made assignee it would not
be we'll for MIR. Sullivan to represent the as
Tgnors The firm of Hoadly, Lauterbach e.
Johnson too. had been well acquainted with the
Affairs of Ives & Co., but inasmuch ex-Gov-
srnor Hoadly is director of the Dayton. Fort
Wayne & Chicago railroad, one of the princi-
pal creditors of the assigned firm, it would be
highly improper for his firm to represent them
On this motion.
Mr.. Adams said he had had time to prepare
the papers to meet the motion. and he intended
20 ask for an adjournment Mr.. Ives had how
aver, said that the matter must go on at once
he therefore made a motion for the dismissal or
the application under the provisions of the as
pignment act, that an assgnor may have from
twenty to thirty days TO file schedules OF assets
and liabilities. The assignee Mr.. Adams said. had
already given a full statement of the assets and
liabilities of the firm. which he had no right to
DO. and he cannot now come into court and ask
for an order to discover the books until after
The twenty days have elapsed.
Mr.. Sullivan replied saying that il everything
was right and proper the production of the miss
ting books would be one way of answering the
application. These books, being the property
of the firm, should be in the custody OF the
assignee.
Judge Bookstaver agreed with this view of the
case but said that he would be unable to con-
duct the examination personally but would
appoint a referee
The attorneys in the agreed upon the
appoin tnent of ex-Judge Noah Davis referee,
and an order to that effect will be made by
Judge Bookstaver tomorrow morning Testi-

AFTER THE BREWERS.

The Commissioner of Internal Revenue
Proposes to Find Out What Brewers in
the Country are AdUIteratlnS Their Prod
uct by Chemical Analysis.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-Commissioner
Miller of the Internal Revenue Bureau, in
an interview yesterday, explained how he
proposes to analyze the beer made in this
country. 'FWe intend" he said, "to have
the beer now being sold throughout the
country tested to determine its puri-
ty or impurity. We have an
excellent chemist, and he is getting
ready to make the tests. We shall not call
upon the breweries respectively for sam
pies. We will purchase samples of retail
dealers, and will label each one distinctly.
In that way we will get the beer just as it
is on the market. OF course, we will not
undertake to analyze samples of all the
breweries in the country at once. We will
purchase samples here and there through
out the country, and they will be sent
here. The chemist can, perhaps, analyze
forty different samples in a day. The
work will be prosecuted from time to time.
As there will be no system for procuring
tho beer, no brewer will be able to tell
when his product is to be ex-
amined. By these official tests
the purity of the beer put on the market
will be determined. So much has been
published of late in regard to the adultera-
tion of beer that it is deemed necessary to
make these official tests for the protection
Of the public.

yesterday inflicted a severe punis ishment
on o. M. Johnson, a usurer. Under the
pretense of helping the poor he advanced
them small sums of money and executed
bills of sale on their useful household ef-
fects. He charged them a premium for
the money that was simply astounding.
In one instance he charged two hundred
per cent. on thirty-five dollars. The case
was heard last week and taken by Judge
Caldwell for examination. He announced
his decision yesterday. The sentence
staggered the prisoner, and he trembled
visibly as the words 81 900 and costs were

was attracted to the water back of
him by an unusual movement. Look
ing he thought he saw Newfound
dog swimming toward him. When
the object was within few feet of
his boat it turned and threw open its
immense jaws. The young poatman
was nearly frozen with fear. Realiz-
ing that he had struggle he dropped
his lines and seized an oar, and with
all the strength that is born Of frenzy.
desperation, and the feeling of self
preservation, he struck the shark on
the side of the head, sinking its head
under water. 1t came to the surface
again in an instant. The young man
had as quickly recovered himself,
and rained blows thick and fast on
the fish's head. 1t made several sDzos
at the oar, and then lay out on the
water. Giving the animal one more
blow on the head, the youth jumped
into his seat and roWed for the shore.
Once safely on terra firma he told
his associates of his adventure, and,
after the dropping of the tide at a
later hour. young Richardson and a
party of friends walked out to the
spot where the combat had occurred,
and there, stranded on the flats. the
dead shark was found. After consid-

brought ashore and laid across a
wheelbarrow, and the young men
proceeded to wheel it to their club
